TheOneRing.net kicked off San Diego Comic Con 2011
with the very first panel of the convention, Thursday 10
a.m. in room 7AB. Over 1,500 people lined up to secure one
of only 480 seats in the room! Hosted by Larry D. Curtis
(MrCere) and Cliff Broadway (Quickbeam), with special guest
Daniel Falconer of Weta and our friends at Warner Brothers,
TheOneRing.net previewed all the Hobbit actors in character
and demoed a voiceover clip from Benedict Cumberpatch, the
voice of Smaug doing a reading. TORn also announced its fan
event surrounding two Sideshow/Weta Gandalf statues that
fans in the U.S. and Europe can participate in. (Fandalf@TheOneRing.net) Each fan at the
panel was then invited to an exclusively War In The North
event and prizes were awarded from Badali Jewelry.
